Soft Tissue Surgery

Our soft tissue surgery treats conditions involving the skin, organs, and other non-bone structures. These procedures can relieve pain, remove growths, and resolve problems that medication alone can’t fix.

Common procedures include mass and tumor removal, wound and laceration repair, foreign object removal from the stomach or intestines, bladder stone surgery, and abscess treatment.

We’ll explain why an operation is recommended, what it involves, and what recovery looks like. Many pets go home the same day and heal within about two weeks with rest and limited activity.

Preparing Your Pet for Surgery

Before scheduling any surgical procedure for a pet, we perform a complete and comprehensive physical evaluation to ensure your pet is healthy enough to undergo surgery and anesthesia. This includes a physical examination, recording your pet’s vital signs, laboratory blood tests, and possibly x-rays. These tests not only ensure your pet is healthy enough for surgery, they also help our surgical team select and dose the best medications and anesthesia for your pet. During a surgical screening exam, our veterinarian will also discuss any steps you should take prior to your pet’s procedure, such as limiting food and water or administering any necessary medications.
